“The discovery of a Bronze Age pile-dwelling settlement in the first real venture into deep Fenland says everything you need to know about the extraordinary archaeological potential of England’s peat fen”

Between 2015-16 archaeologists from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit excavated the remains of a Late Bronze Age (850BC) pile-dwelling settlement. Consisting of houses built on piles above a river and surrounded by a palisade of sharpened posts, the settlement was destroyed in a catastrophic fire only 9-12 months after it was constructed. The story of the site is now available to read in two Open Access publications: Must Farm pile-dwelling settlement Volumes 1 & 2.
